  The seeder according to the invention is lightweight and compact and does not require a battery. In addition, even if the seeding tool and the seeding method according to the present invention are very small seeds, seeds can be quickly sown at the targeted position one by one without requiring special techniques and skills.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of a seeding tool according to the present invention. It is a side view showing one embodiment of a sowing tool concerning the present invention at the time of sowing operation. It is a top view which shows the vibration oscillation part concerning this invention.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of a sowing tool and a sowing method according to the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

  As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the seeding tool includes a grip portion 2 which is gripped by the user. Furthermore, the seeding tool includes a seed placement unit 1 on which a plurality of seeds 4 are placed. The seed placement unit 1 is coupled to the gripping unit 2. The seeding tool further includes a vibration generating unit 3 that vibrates the seed placement unit 1.

  The seed placement unit 1 has a substantially V-shaped cross section. The folding angle of the V shape is not limited. The user vibrates the seed placement unit 1 via the holding unit 2 by rubbing the convex portion of the vibration generating unit 3 with a claw. Since the cross section of the seed placement portion is substantially V-shaped, when the seed placement portion 1 is vibrated, the seeds 4 move while being aligned along the substantially V-shaped streak portion 1a. The ridges 1 a are depressions along the fold lines of the seed placement unit 1.

  The grip portion 2 may be formed of a plate-like member extended in the longitudinal direction (X direction). By being plate-shaped, since it can hold firmly, it controls an unintended rotation of the sowing tool, and sowing can be performed in a stable state of the sowing tool. The grip portion 2 may be a cylindrical member.

  The vibration generating unit 3 includes a plurality of convex portions 30 extending in a direction (Y direction) perpendicular to the longitudinal direction (X direction) of the gripping portion 2 and in the circumferential direction of the gripping portion 2. Each convex part 30 may be arranged in parallel. This is because it is suitable for rubbing the vibration generating unit 3 with the fingernail N of the thumb while holding the grip 2 with the finger excluding the thumb and the palm H. By doing so, vibration can be generated in a stable state of the seed drill. The vibration generating unit 3 may include the recess 30.

  The vibration generating unit 3 is divided into a plurality of regions 3a and 3b in the longitudinal direction (X direction) as shown in FIG. 3, and the distances L1 and L2 of the intervals between the convex portions 30 in each region are different. Good. By doing so, vibrations of different magnitudes can be generated for each of the regions 3a and 3b, and the operation of the seeds 4 on the seed placement unit 1 can be easily controlled. In addition, it becomes easy to cope with different types of sizes.

  The seed placement unit 1 may be configured of a member that is tapered toward the tip 10 and is transparent. It is because it becomes easy to visually recognize a sowing site | part because the front-end | tip 10 is tapering. Moreover, the visibility of a sowing site | part is further improved by comprising by a transparent member. By enhancing the visibility, it is possible to surely see the sowing site and to sow the intended site.

  Although the shape of the convex part (or recessed part) 30 of the vibration generation part 3 is not specifically limited, It is desirable that it is rounded. It is because it can prevent that the nail which rubs the vibration generation part 3 is hurt.

  Although the material of the seed saw of the present invention is not particularly limited, it is desirable to be a resin. This is because the color of the sowing tool can be designed to be transparent. In addition, since the resin is lower in hardness than metal, it is possible to prevent the nail N that rubs the vibration generating portion 3 from being damaged. Furthermore, by reducing the weight of the main body, fatigue caused by sowing work can be reduced. In addition, it contributes to cost reduction by material cost reduction and simplification of the manufacturing process.

  Next, a sowing method using the sowing tool of the present invention will be described using FIG. 1 and FIG. First, the seeding tool of the present invention is held by the user's hand H, and the seeds 4 are placed on the seed placement unit 1 by an arbitrary number. The size and number of species 4 are not particularly limited.

  Next, the seed placement unit 1 is disposed so that the substantially V-shaped streaks 1a of the seed placement unit 1 face the ground toward the sowing site. The angle of the seed placement unit 1 directed to the ground is not particularly limited.

  Next, the convex portion 30 of the vibration generating unit 3 is rubbed with the claw N. Then, the plurality of seeds 4 placed on the seed placement unit 1 are aligned along the substantially V-shaped streaks 1 a of the seed placement unit 1 and seeding is performed from the tip 10 of the seed placement unit 1 Drop one at a time into the area.

  The surface to be rubbed with the fingernails when generating the vibration does not have to be the upper surface of the vibration generating unit 3 as shown in FIG. 2. For example, the lower surface of the vibration generating unit 3 may be rubbed from the back The side surface of the generation unit 3 may be rubbed. The fingernail which rubs the convex portion 30 when generating the vibration does not have to be a fingernail of a thumb as shown in FIG. 2 and may be, for example, a nail of a forefinger. Alternatively, for example, the holding unit 2 may be held by one hand and the protrusion 30 may be rubbed by the nail of the finger of the other hand without using the sowing tool with only one hand. As described above, the sowing tool of the present invention can be used properly depending on the preference and the situation of the user.

  By adjusting the speed at which the convex portion 30 is rubbed, the user can easily adjust the degree of vibration. Therefore, even if it is a very small and light seed, it is suitable for the weight of the seed 4 placed on the seed placement portion 1 by rubbing the convex portion 30 with the nail N at a slower speed than when seeding a heavy seed Vibration can be applied to the seed placement unit 1. By so doing, the seeds 4 are aligned along the substantially V-shaped streaks 1 a of the seed placement unit 1, and one grain is dropped from the tip 10 of the seed placement unit 1 to the ground.

  Also, for example, it is possible to accelerate the speed at which the seeds 4 reach the tip of the seed placement portion by rubbing the vibration generating part 3 quickly until the seed 4 reaches the tip 10 of the seed placement portion 1 .

  Therefore, according to the present invention, by adjusting the speed at which the vibration generator 3 is rubbed easily by anybody, it is possible to sow seeds quickly at the position targeted for each grain, even for very small seeds. And it becomes possible to do stable seeding which does not depend on the weight of the species without requiring special techniques and skills.

  The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, but the configuration of the present invention is not limited to these embodiments. For example, it can be changed as follows.

  As a modification of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 3, the vibration generating portion may be divided into the regions 3a and 3b, and the height of the uneven portion 30 may be changed for each region. Since there are a plurality of regions having different heights of unevenness, even when each region is rubbed at the same speed, vibrations having different magnitudes are generated in each region. Therefore, since the magnitude of the generated vibration can be easily controlled, the operation of the seed 4 on the seed placement unit 1 can be easily controlled. By doing so, it is possible to sow seeds of different weight and size.

  Moreover, the seed placement part 1 and the holding part 2 provided with the vibration generation part 3 may be removable. By providing a plurality of gripping portions 2 provided with vibration generating portions 3 having different distances between the uneven portions 30 and heights of the uneven portions 30, or / and providing a plurality of seed placement portions 1 having different sizes, It becomes possible to change the combination of the holding part 2 provided with the vibration generation part 3 and the seed placement part 1 according to the kind and quantity of a kind.
